BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a system for preventing and/orseparation foreign objects from the air intake of a turbine engine. Inparticular, this invention relates in general to a single/multipleguard(s)/cap(s) and/or screen(s) with engine shaft apparatus and/orpole. Extensions/rods can be laced, for example, fixed/secured, adhered,positioned and/or attached to the guard(s)/cap(s) and/or screen(s); aswell as to the engine shaft extension(s) and/or pole apparatus, and/orrotational systems. The rotational system(s)-functions with complete,pivot and/or partial movement (for example) for gas separation, for thenacelle/air inlet of numerous jet engines, turbojet, turboprop andturboshaft engines such as aircraft and power plants or the like. Theaddition of the centrifuge chamber/manifold particle collector withrotational system(s) would further add security means without limitingengine thrust.

2. Description of the Prior Art

Problems are caused by ingestion of foreign objects into the nacelle/airinlet of engines; this problem has been previously known and recognized,for example, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,695,074; 2,931,460;2,944,631; 2,969,941; 3,121,545; 3,148,043; 3,426,981; 3,521,431;3,616,616; 3,766,719; 3,832,086; 3,871,844; 4,149,689; 4,265,646;4,617,028; 4,833,879; 5,046,458 and 5,411,224, all hereby incorporatedby reference. However, such systems are known to limit engine thrustthus solving one problem and creating another. Since jet engines,turbojet, turboprop and/or turboshaft aircraft operate in environmentswhere foreign objects cannot be controlled or removed, solutions must befound in order to solve this problem. Numerous aircraft have reportedsuch problems with foreign objects, yet constructive solutions have notbeen previously found. Such problems with ingestion of foreign objectsto engines causes damage in the compressor stage and to other portionsof the engine. Such engine damage is immediate by partial or completeengine thrust surmounting to impairment of aircraft's flying ability.Since many of the systems used in aircraft are limited in function ofengine capability, for example, two engines, such limitation can bedetrimental and/or fatal. The possible ingestion of foreign objects inengines during or shortly after aircraft take-off (ascending) and oraircraft landing (descent) can be grave consequence.

The advent of gas turbine helicopters and other vehicles take-off andlanding with VTOL/VSTOL aircraft, foreign matter-particles are also ofgrave concert. Helicopters and other VTOL/VSTOL aircraft are alsoespecially suited for certain low altitude missions on both land andsea, including combat support, search and rescue, and ant-submarinewarfare; this foreign particle matter leaves the aircraft in a gravesituation. Therefor, it is desirable to provide means as a guard and aparticle collector for such conditions to ensure safety.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates in general to a guard(s)/cap(s) and/or screen(s)apparatus (single and/or multiple formation—along with themanipulations) for the nacelle/air inlet for numerous jet engines,turbojet, turboprop, turboshaft engines—(Helicopters and VTOL/VSTOLaircraft) such as aircraft power plants or the like. The guard(s)/cap(s)and/or screen(s) minimize if not eliminate entry of foreign objects intothe nacelle/air inlet thereby allowing the function of the aircraft tooperate respectively. In order for the appropriate function to occur gasseparation must take place. In accordance with an important aspect ofthe invention, system(s) may be implemented with or withouttreads/threads (for example)—(along with the manipulations) that wouldallow the guard(s)/cap(s) and/or screen(s) to function accordingly forgas separation. The rotational system(s) and the guard(s)/cap(s) and/orscreen(s), shall function with the invention of the engine shaftextension(s) attachment and/or pole apparatus (along with themanipulations). The invention of the extensions/rods from theguard(s)/cap(s) and/or screen(s) shall be fixed/secured, adhered,positioned and/or attached to the rotational system(s) and/or directlyto the engine shaft extension(s) attachment and/or pole apparatus. Theengine shaft extension(s) attachment and/or pole apparatus, with theextensions/rods from the guard(s)/cap(s) and/or screen(s) shall befixed/secured, adhered and/or attached to the inward and/or outwardportion of the guard(s)/cap(s) and/or screen(s)—(along with themanipulations). Extensions/rods can also be attachedlatitudinal/longitudinal and/or laced (for example) on theguard(s)/cap(s) and/or screen(s) of the rotational system(s). Thusadhering fixed/secured and/or positioned to the rotational system(s)and/or directly to the engine shaft extension(s) attachment and/or poleapparatus. Opening and Closure of apparatus can be attained by centeraxis—for example of the guard(s)/cap(s) and/or screen(s) in multiplesections (2 and/or odd numbers). Thus closure can occur upon the engineshaft attached apparatus and/or pole in a folding or laced process (forexample) along with the extensions/rods. Therefore, allowing continuousmotion and/or function to occur from the engine without obstruction orfurther automation nor limiting engine thrust.

Additional security measures are taken with the centrifugechamber/manifold particle collector with or without ejector system(s),through conduit means. Such additional security system would ensure anydoubt of foreign particle entry and destruction prior to reaching mainengine components—compressor, combustor, a gas generator turbine fordriving the compressor and power turbine for the driving of an outputshaft. Thus, the rotational system(s) and engine-attached apparatuswould ensure continuous motion and/or function to occur from the enginewith further security system means without limiting engine thrust.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

FIG. 1 is the first embodiment exhibited in a isometric partial view ofapparatus and noted that the guards/caps and/or screens (can beinterchanged) is shown with longitudinal and latitudinal form. Thisembodiment as well as the other embodiment may consist of a dispersingeffect and/or retraction. In FIG. 1 numeral 10 a and 10 b we note thescreens, can be fixed/secure adhered, positioned and/or attached to thebases of the apparatus (can be separate apparatus), and thus fastened.The centrifuge chamber/manifold particle collector exhibited by numerals12 a and 12 b. The particle separator exhibits a pair of spacedwalls—the screens—for example—(pierced screen shown as FIG. 33—can beinternal part of the meshed screen(s) with vane(s)—for example—shown asFIG. 46 a thru 46 d) with rotational systems apparatus—exhibited bynumerals 14 a and 14 b as well as numerals 14 c and 14 d, with orwithout treads/threads—for example. Define as annular passageway therebetween, having at opposite ends thereof and outlet flow ofcommunication through two ducts exhibited by numerals 16 a and 16 blocated at opposite ends of the chamber. The vanes in the chamberexhibited by numeral 12 a and 12 b axially divide the chamber and definean annular extraction manifold. The three turning vanes each of whichextends an arcuate distance of approximately 120 degrees, (for example)it can be seen that no particle need travel more than a circumferentialdistance of 120 degrees (for example) before entering the extractionmanifold from which rebound into the engine inlet is reduced. Variancesin degrees can occur with structural configuration of guard(s)/cap(s)and/or screens(s). Number of collector vanes may vary to meet therequired amount for collector/separator efficiency. The ducts are indirect communication with the collection chambers exhibited by numerals18 a and 18 b, and thus the collection chamber is in directcommunication with the two conduits exhibited by numerals 20 a and 20 b.The chamber 18 a, 18 b may including mesh for aerodynamic purposes invarious forms as discussed herein.

As air numeral 22, passes through the inlet which is at a high velocityit is turned or centrifuged circumferentially at such a downstream ofthe vanes, the air has both angular and axial velocity. This is known asimparting “swirl” to the fluid stream. Small particles of foreign matterentrained in the air stream are also centrifuged, having small mass theparticles are carried along with the swirling air. The particles withgreater mass are not of our concern due to the guard(s)/cap(s) and/orscreen(s) are used for preventive measure. A particle entrained in theair stream and centrifuged will have both tangential and axial velocitydownstream of the turning vanes. Both tangential and axial velocity intheory not subjected to external forces travel in a straight line pathto the outer periphery of the passage way. In practice, the swirling airhas significant effect on the particles trajectory which can be comparedroughly to that of a helix having increasing diameter in the downstreamdirection (as known). Thus the centrifuging and the entrainment throughthe turning vanes numeral 12 a and 12 b and into the extraction manifoldfrom which particles are collected through the ducts numerals 16 a and16 b. The rotational systems on the chamber exhibited as numerals 14 cand 14 d shall additionally enable the centrifuge process to be enacted(with or without treads/threads—for example); as well as the engineshaft attached apparatus being major components.

The gaseous fluid or air shown as numeral 22 entering the engine throughthe inlet passes through the compressor numeral 24 where it iscompressed, and hence to the combustor numeral 26 where the air is mixedwith fuel and burned. The hot gases of combustion emerges at highvelocity from the combustor numeral 26 and passes sequentially throughthe high pressure turbine numeral 28 and low pressure turbine numeral 30where gases are expanded to extract energy there from. Energy extractedfrom the hot gases by turbine numeral 28 provides the driving force forthe compressor numeral 24 which is connected to turbine 28 by shaftnumeral 32 a. Energy extracted from the hot gases by turbine numeral 30provides the driving force for the main engine drive shaft numeral 32 bwhich delivers power to an energy using device, such as helicopter rotorsystem, (not exhibited). After exiting turbine numeral 30 the hot gasesof combustion passes through the engine exhaust duct numeral 34 whichincludes diffuser numeral 36 in which case gases are expanded and exitthe engine numeral 38. This is the formal function of numerous jetengines.

Ejector systems FIG. 6 numeral 40 includes control valve FIG. 6 numeral42 for controlling the amount of air bled from the compressor numeral 24thus flow of the fluid through the conduits numerals 20 a and 20 b toincrease efficiency of the gas turbine engine. When particle collectorseparation is not deemed necessary the ejector system may be used tointerrupt the flow of bled air. A modulating valve FIG. 6 numeral 44regulates the flow in the conduit thereby increasing engine efficiency.The guards/caps and/or screens as well as the rotational system shown inFIG. 1 numeral 10 a and 10 b as well as in FIG. 31 thru FIG. 56 (ofmetal/material) can be fastened inside the air inlet of the aircraft; aswell as fastened to the nacelle exterior portion; and/or in the airinlet extending out to the nacelle. This is also held true for FIG. 59the spherical and/or round structural support frame, with or withoutrotational system and/or treads/threads shown as serrated (for example).The support frame can take numerous forms such as illustrated in FIG. 57(rhombus) and FIG. 58 (parallelogram), for example. The guards/capsand/or screens can be fixed to the guards and/or guard frame and/or asseparate apparatus. Numeral 14 a and 14 b exhibits the rotationalsystems noted in rectangular form—this is one of the manipulations shownin FIG. 25. The rotational systems can be fixed to the guards cowlsand/or base or as a separate apparatus (of metal/material); thus therotational systems 14 a, 14 b, 14 c, and 14 d can be fixed/secured,adhered and/or attached to the nacelle/air inlet.

FIG. 1 numeral 46 a and 46 b (16 extensions/rods in each guards/capsand/or screen—for example)—can be separate apparatus—exhibitsextension(s)/rod(s) which can be fixed/secured, adhered, and/or attachedto the guard/cap and/or screens; as well as, can be fixed/secured,adhered and/or attached to the engine shaft apparatus and/or pole. Theseextensions/rods numeral 46 a and 46 b can extend from the inward and/oroutward portion of the guards/caps and/or screens; or from the screenslatitudinal vane(s) and fixed in the inward portion of the screen asexhibited (extensions/rods 46 a and 46 b can also be in multiples of2/numerous in numbers and/or odd numbers—of metal/material), arefixed/secured, positioned and/or adhered to numeral 48 a and 48 b, whichexhibits the treads/threads of the rotational systems allowing functionto occur. Extensions/Rods can also take a lacing configuration and/or alongitudinal configuration as well as having a curved aperture (forexample). Thus the treads/threads (for example) of the rotationalsystems production of various functions and movement allows gasseparation to occur—examples of movement and function is swift, pivot,clockwise (for example), time delayed, auto-mated systems and/orhydraulics (for example—and/or for opening or closure of apparatus).Numeral 32 b exhibits the engine shaft extension(s) attachment and/orpole (of metal/material) thus adhered, fixed/secured and/or attached tothe guards/caps, screens and/or extensions. Numeral 32 a exhibits shaftfrom the high pressure turbine. Numeral 50 a, 50 b and 50 c thesecure/fixed, adhered, apparatus (of metal/material) attached to theengine and to the engine shaft extension(s) and/or pole-screens thatallows apparatus to be secure/fixed. Therefore, also allowing thecontinuous motion from the engine to occur without obstruction orfurther automation thereby inducing motion and creating the rotationand/or function for gas separation to occur without minimizing enginethrust a higher performance engine has been created. Since the particlesof matter are of small nature due to the guard(s)/cap(s) and/orscreen(s) in not allowing large matter to be ingested, particles mayalso remain in the collection chamber(s) which can be enclosed onceparticles enter from the duct(s), thereby offering an additionalsolution to this problem. The collection chamber 18 a, 18 b may includea mesh as discussed above. This is a prime solution not only fornumerous engines—jet, turoprop, turboshaft as well as for helicoptersand other VTOL/VSTOL aircraft. This is a prime solution for engines andpower plants and the like. Thus a guard(s)/cap(s) and/or screens alongwith the mechanism is significant. A casing may be added as deemed fitshown as numeral 52.

The following apparatus are various manipulations of the rotationalsystems (FIG. 23 thru FIG. 45—rotational systems and/or screens/guardsare of metal/material and can be in numerous forms—thus for example) canbe separate apparatus and/or secured/fixed, adhered and/or attached tothe cowls and/or base with or without treads/threads—as well as numerousmethods can be used other than treads/threads (for example). Variance inraised and or lowered in degrees of vanes, may also take a fly wheelcomposition FIG. 37 thru FIG. 43 allowing additional gas separation tooccur and turbine motion as well as used in guards (can be used withconicals/cones). The addition of a mesh FIGS. 46 a thru 46 d can be usedin FIG. 23 thru FIG. 45 and in other mechanisms. Devices may also bestationary for other engines and power plants and the like. All devicesare independent (and may also have a curved aperture—for example) andthus can be interchanged on all apparatuses.

The following apparatus are nose guards/caps shown in conical/cone formwith various interchanging nose guard/cap—may take the configuration ofconvex, concave and/or solid—for example.

FIG. 2 illustrates an alternate embodiment exhibited in a isometricpartial view of apparatus and illustrates that the guards/caps and/orscreens (can be interchanged) is shown with longitudinal and latitudinalform. In FIG. 2 numeral 10 a the screens, can be fixed/secured, adhered,positioned and/or attached to the bases of the apparatus (can beseparate apparatus), and thus fastened. The centrifuge chamber/manifoldparticle collector exhibited by numerals 12 a and 12 b. The particleseparator exhibits a pair of spaced walls—within the conical/cone—forexample—(pierced screen shown as FIG. 33—can be internal part of themeshed screen(s) with vane(s)—for example—shown as FIG. 46 a thru 46 d)with rotational systems apparatus—exhibited by numerals 14 a with orwithout treads/threads—for example. Define as annular passageway therebetween, having at opposite ends thereof and outlet flow ofcommunication through two ducts exhibited by numerals 16 a and 16 blocated at opposite ends of the chamber. The vanes in the chamberexhibited by numeral 12 a and 12 b axially divide the chamber and definean annular extraction manifold within the conical/cone. The threeturning vanes each of which extends an arcuate distance of approximately120 degrees, (for example) it can be seen that no particle need travelmore than a circumferential distance of 120 degrees (for example) beforeentering the extraction manifold from which rebound into the engineinlet is reduced. Variances in degrees can occur with structuralconfiguration of guard(s)/cap(s) and/or screens(s). Number of collectorvanes may vary to meet the required amount for collector/separatorefficiency. The ducts are in direct communication with the collectionchambers exhibited by numerals 18 a and 18 b, and thus the collectionchamber is in direct communication with the two conduits exhibited bynumerals 20 a and 20 b. As air numeral 22, passes through the inletwhich is at a high velocity it is turned or centrifugedcircumferentially at such a downstream of the vanes, the air has bothangular and axial velocity. This is known as imparting “swirl” to thefluid stream. Small particles of foreign matter entrained in the airstream are also centrifuged, having small mass the particles are carriedalong with the swirling air. The particles with greater mass are not ofour concern due to the guard(s)/cap(s) and/or screen(s) are used forpreventive measure. A particle entrained in the air stream andcentrifuged will have both tangential and axial velocity downstream ofthe turning vanes. Both tangential and axial velocity in theory notsubjected to external forces travel in a straight line path to the outerperiphery of the passage way. In practice, the swirling air hassignificant effect on the particles trajectory which can be comparedroughly to that of a helix having increasing diameter in the downstreamdirection (as known). Thus the centrifuging and the entrainment throughthe turning vanes numeral 12 a and 12 b into the extraction manifoldfrom which particles are collected through the ducts numerals 16 a and16 b. The engine shaft attached apparatus numeral 32 b is thus beingmajor a component in allowing auto induced function for the rotationaland centrifuge process to occur within the conical/cone. The gaseousfluid or air shown as numeral 22 entering the engine through the inletpasses through the compressor numeral 24 where it is compressed, andhence to the combustor numeral 26 where the air is mixed with fuel andburned. The hot gases of combustion emerges at high velocity from thecombustor numeral 26 and passes sequentially through the high pressureturbine numeral 28 and low pressure turbine numeral 30 where gases areexpanded to extract energy there from. Energy extracted from the hotgases by turbine numeral 28 provides the driving force for thecompressor numeral 24 which is connected to turbine 28 by shaft numeral32 a. Energy extracted from the hot gases by turbine numeral 30 providesthe driving force for the main engine drive shaft numeral 32 b whichdelivers power to an energy using device, such as helicopter rotorsystem, (not exhibited). After exiting turbine numeral 30 the hot gasesof combustion passes through the engine exhaust duct numeral 34 whichincludes diffuser numeral 36 in which case gases are expanded and exitthe engine numeral 38. This is the formal function of numerous jetengines. Ejector systems FIG. 6 numeral 40 includes control valve FIG. 6numeral 42 for controlling the amount of air bled from the compressornumeral 24 thus flow of the fluid through the conduits numerals 20 a and20 b to increase efficiency of the gas turbine engine. When particlecollector separation is not deemed necessary the ejector system may beused to interrupt the flow of bled air. A modulating valve FIG. 6numeral 44 regulates the flow in the conduit thereby increasing engineefficiency. The guards/caps and/or screens as well as the rotationalsystem shown in FIG. 2 numeral 10 a as well as in FIG. 31 thru FIG. 56(of metal/material) can be fastened inside the air inlet of theaircraft; as well as fastened to the nacelle exterior portion; and/or inthe air inlet extending out to the nacelle. This is also held true forFIG. 59 the spherical and/or round structural support frame, with orwithout rotational system and/or treads/threads shown as serrated (forexample). The support frame can take numerous forms such as FIG. 57rhombus and FIG. 58 parallelogram (for example). The guards/caps and/orscreens can be fixed to the guards and/or guard frame and/or as separateapparatus. Numeral 14 a exhibits the rotational systems noted inrectangular form—this is one of the manipulations shown in FIG. 25. Therotational systems can be fixed to the guards cowls and/or base or as aseparate apparatus (of metal/material); thus to the rotational systems14 a, can be fixed/secured, adhered and/or attached to the nacelle/airinlet. FIG. 2 numeral 46 a (16 extensions/rods in the guards/caps and/orscreen—for example)—can be separate apparatus—exhibitsextension(s)/rod(s) which can be fixed/secured, adhered, and/or attachedto the guard/cap and/or screens; as well as, can be fixed/secured,adhered and/or attached to the engine shaft apparatus and/or poleapparatus. These extensions/rods numeral 46 a and 46 b can extend fromthe inward and/or outward portion of the guards/caps and/or screens; orfrom the screens latitudinal vane(s) and fixed in the inward portion ofthe screen as exhibited (extensions/rods 46 a can also be in multiplesof 2/numerous in numbers and/or odd numbers—of metal/material), arefixed/secured, positioned and/or adhered to numeral 48 a, which exhibitsthe treads/threads of the rotational systems allowing function to occur.Extensions/Rods can also take a lacing configuration and/or alongitudinal configuration as well as a curved aperture (for example).Thus inventing treads/threads (for example) of the rotational systemsproduction of various functions and movement shall therefore allow gasseparation to occur—examples of movement and function is swift, pivot,clockwise (for example), time delayed, automated systems and/orhydraulics (for example—and/or for opening or closure of apparatus).Numeral 32 b exhibits the engine shaft extension(s) attachment and/orpole (of metal/material) thus adhered, fixed/secured and/or attached tothe guards/caps, screens and/or extensions. Numeral 32 a exhibits shaftfrom the high pressure turbine. Numeral 50 a, the secure/fixed, adhered,apparatus (of metal/material) attached to the engine and to the engineshaft apparatus and/or pole-screens that allows apparatus to besecure/fixed. Therefore, also allowing the continuous motion from theengine to occur without obstruction or further automation therebyinducing motion and creating the rotation and/or function for gasseparation to occur without minimizing engine thrust we have created ahigher performance engine. Note: Since the particles of matter are ofsmall nature due to the guard(s)/cap(s) and/or screen(s) in not allowinglarge matter to be ingested, particles may also remain in the collectionchamber(s) which can be enclosed once particles enter from the duct(s),thereby offering an additional solution to this problem. This is a primesolution not only for numerous engines—jet, turoprop, turboshaft as wellas for helicopters and other VTOL/VSTOL aircraft. This is a primesolution for engines and power plants and the like. Thus aguard(s)/cap(s) and/or screens along with the mechanism is significant.A casing may be added as deemed fit shown as numeral 52. Alternatescreen/guards as illustrated in FIGS. 23-45 can also be incorporatedinto the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2.

FIG. 3 shows an isometric partial expanded view of a multi vane doubleguards/caps and/or screens with engine attached apparatus and/or pole,with rotational systems. Centrifuge chamber/manifold particlecollector-separator shown with expanded view as well as multipleextensions/rods 46 a—18 for example, (exhibited in the inward positiontowards the security apparatus), exhibited in FIG. 2.

FIG. 4 shows an isometric partial view of a multi vane doubleguards/caps and/or screens with engine attached apparatus and/or pole,with rotational systems. Centrifuge chamber/manifold particlecollector-separator shown with expanded view as well as multipleextensions/rods 46 c—18 for example, (exhibited in the outwards positionof the security apparatus).

FIG. 5 shows a cross-sectional view of the separator exhibited in FIG. 1numerals 12 a and 12 b, as well as exhibited in FIG. 2 numerals 12 a and12 b. Thus the separator—three turning vanes each of which extends anarcuate distance of approximately 120 degrees, (for example) it can beseen that no particle need travel more than a circumferential distanceof 120 degrees (for example) before entering the extraction manifoldfrom which rebound into the engine inlet is reduced. Variances indegrees can occur with structural configuration of guard(s)/cap(s)and/or screen(s), we note that separators turning vanes in FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 are exhibited on the conical/cone (for example).

FIG. 6 shows ejector systems numeral 40 includes the control valvenumeral 42 for controlling the amount of air bled from the compressorFIG. 1 and FIG. 2 numeral 24 thus flow of the fluid through the conduitsFIG. 1 and FIG. 2 numerals 20 a and 20 b to increase efficiency of thegas turbine engine. When particle collector separation is not deemednecessary the ejector system may be used to interrupt the flow of bledair. A modulating valve exhibited in FIG. 6 numeral 44 regulates theflow in the conduit thereby increasing engine efficiency.

FIG. 7 shows the manifold sectional; thereby attached to the engineapparatus and/or pole-(apparatus can be single, or attached,fixed/secured on the engine attached apparatus and/or pole, orfixed/secured on the guard(s)/cap(s) and/or screen(s).

FIG. 8 illustrates another alternate embodiment of Single/MultipleGuard(s)/Cap(s) and/or Screen(s) with Engine Systems Attached Apparatusand/or Pole with Rotational System(s); exhibited in a isometric partialview of apparatus and noted that the guards/caps and/or screens (can beinterchanged) is shown with longitudinal and latitudinal form. In FIG. 8numeral 58 exhibits conical/cone with convex nose guard (conicals/conesmay be suited for example are FIG. 47 thru FIG. 56 as well FIG. 10numeral 60 the darted conical/cone) exhibiting cowl and/or base asnumeral 56 thereby attached to the rotational systems noted inrectangular form exhibited as numerals 14 a and 14 b—this is one of themanipulations shown in FIG. 25. The rotational systems can be fixed tothe guards cowl and/or base or as separate apparatus (ofmetal/material); thus the rotational systems 14 a and 14 b can befixed/secured, adhered and/or attached to the nacelle/air inlet. FIG. 8numerals 46 a and 46 b (exhibits extensions/rods—46 a—10extensions/rods, 46 b 12 extensions/rods for example) can be separateapparatus—exhibits extension(s)/rod(s) which can be fixed/secured,adhered, and/or attached to the guard/cap and or screens; as well asfixed/secured, adhered and/or attached to the engine shaft extension(s)and/or pole apparatus. These extensions/rods numerals 46 a and 46 b canextend from the inward and/or outward portion of the guards/caps and/orscreens; or from the screen latitudinal vane(s)—(if screen is added) andfixed/secured, attached and/or adhered to the inward portion of theguards/caps and/or screens. Extensions/Rods 46 a and 46 b can also be inmultiples of 2/numerous in numbers and or odd numbers, extensions/rodsmay have a curved aperture for greater gas separation—of metal/material.Conicals/cones with multi vanes have a greater degree of gas separationthereby engine to function more efficiently.

As air numeral 22, passes through the inlet which is at a high velocityit is turned at such a downstream by the vanes, the air has both angularand axial velocity. This is known as imparting “swirl” to the fluidstream. Small particles of foreign matter entrained in the air streamare carried along with the swirling air. The particles with greater massare not of our concern due to the guard(s)/cap(s) and/or screen(s) areused for preventive measure. A particle entrained in the air stream willhave both tangential and axial velocity downstream of the turning vanes.Both tangential and axial velocity in theory are not subjected toexternal forces travel in a straight line path to the outer periphery ofthe passage way. In practice, the swirling air has significant effect onthe particles trajectory which can be compared roughly to that of ahelix having increasing diameter in the downstream direction (as known).The rotational systems numerals 14 a and 14 b with or withouttreads/threads numerals 48 a and 48 b shall enable gas separation totake place as well as guard from foreign objects. The gaseous fluid orair shown as numeral 22 entering the engine through the inlet passesthrough the compressor numeral 24 where it is compressed, and hence tothe combustor numeral 26 where the air is mixed with fuel and burned.The hot gases of combustion emerges at high velocity from the combustornumeral 26 and passes sequentially through the high pressure turbinenumeral 28 and low pressure turbine numeral 30 where gases are expandedto extract energy there from. Energy extracted from the hot gases byturbine numeral 28 provides the driving force for the compressor numeral24 which is connected to turbine 28 by shaft numeral 32 a. Energyextracted from the hot gases by turbine numeral 30 provides the drivingforce for the main engine drive shaft numeral 32 b which delivers powerto an energy using device, such as helicopter rotor system, (notexhibited). After exiting turbine numeral 30 the hot gases of combustionpasses through the engine exhaust duct numeral 34 which includesdiffuser numeral 36 in which case gases are expanded and exit the enginenumeral 38. This is the formal function of numerous jet engines. Ejectorsystems as well as conduits may also be added (not exhibited in FIG. 8but exhibited in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2) FIG. 6 numeral 40 includes controlvalve FIG. 6 numeral 42 for controlling the amount of air bled from thecompressor numeral 24 thus flow of the fluid through the conduits meansnumerals 20 a and 20 b to increase efficiency of the gas turbine engine.A modulating valve FIG. 6 numeral 44 regulates the flow in the conduitthereby increasing engine efficiency. The guards/caps and/or screens aswell as the rotational system 14 a and 14 b shown in FIG. 8 numeral 58are also deemed appropriate use and possible to be used in FIG. 31 thruFIG. 56 for example (of metal/material) thus can be fastened inside theair inlet of the aircraft; as well as fastened to the nacelle exteriorportion; and/or in the air inlet extending out to the nacelle. This isalso held true for FIG. 59 the spherical and/or round structural supportframe, with or without rotational system and/or treads/threads shown asserrated (for example). We note support frame can take numerous formssuch as FIG. 57 rhombus and FIG. 58 parallelogram (for example). Theguards/caps and/or screens can be fixed to the guards and/or guard frameand/or as separate apparatus. Thus inventing the treads/threads (forexample) of the rotational systems production of various functions andmovement shall therefore allow gas separation to occur—examples ofmovement and function is swift, pivot, clockwise (for example), timedelayed, automated systems and/or hydraulics (for example—and/or foropening or closure of apparatus). Numeral 32 b exhibits the engine shaftextension(s) attachment and/or pole (of metal/material) thus adhered,fixed/secured and/or attached to the guards/caps, screens and/orextensions. Numeral 32 a exhibits shaft from the high pressure turbine.Numeral 50 a, 50 b and 50 c the secure/fixed, adhered, apparatus (ofmetal/material) attached to the engine and to the engine shaftextension(s) and/or pole-screens that allows apparatus to besecure/fixed. Therefore, also allowing the continues motion from theengine to occur without obstruction or further automation therebyinducing motion and creating the rotation and/or function for gasseparation to occur without minimizing engine thrust we have created ahigher performance engine. Note: Since the particles of matter are ofsmall nature due to the guard(s)/cap(s) and/or screen(s) in not allowinglarge matter to be ingested, particles may also remain in the collectionchamber(s) (not exhibited in FIG. 8 but shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2numerals 18 a and 18 b) but which can be enclosed once particles enterfrom the duct(s), thereby offering an additional solution to thisproblem. This is a prime solution not only for numerous engines—jet,turoprop, turboshaft as well as for helicopters and other VTOL/VSTOLaircraft. This is a prime solution for engines and power plants and thelike. Thus a guard(s)/cap(s) and/or screens along with the mechanism issignificant. A casing may be added as deemed fit shown in FIG. 1 andFIG. 3 numeral 52.

FIG. 9 shows an isometric partial expanded view of a double guards/capsand/or screens with the engine attached apparatus and/or pole, withrotational system.

The following apparatus are various manipulations of the rotationalsystems (FIG. 23 thru FIG. 45—rotational systems and/or screens/guardsare of metal/material and can be in numerous forms—thus for example) canbe separate apparatus and/or secured/fixed, adhered and/or attached tothe cowls and/or base with or without treads/threads—as well as numerousmethods can be used other than treads/threads (for example). Variance inraised and or lowered in degrees of vanes, may also take a fly wheelcomposition FIG. 37 thru FIG. 43 allowing additional gas separation tooccur and turbine motion as well as used in guards (can be used withconicals/cones). The addition of a mesh 46 a thru 46 d can be used inFIG. 23 thru FIG. 45 and in other mechanisms. Devices may also bestationary for other engines and power plants and the like. All devicesare independent (and may also have a curved aperture—for example) andthus can be interchanged on all apparatuses. Alternate screen/guards asdiscussed above and illustrated in FIGS. 23-45 can also be incorporatedinto the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3.

FIG. 10 represents another alternate embodiment of Single/MultipleGuard(s)/Cap(s) and/or Screen(s) with Engine Systems RetractableAttached Apparatus and/or Pole with Rotational System(s) exhibited in aisometric partial view of apparatus and noted that the guards/capsand/or screens (can be interchanged) is shown with longitudinal andlatitudinal form. In FIG. 10 numeral 60 exhibits the darted conical/conewith convex nose guard, (conicals/cones may be suited for example areFIG. 47 thru FIG. 56) exhibiting cowl and/or base as numeral 56 and aplurality of spokes 46 a, 46 b, pivotally attached on one end to thebase 56 forming a cone shape in one position where the spokes 46 a, 46 bgenerally divergent on one end as shown, for example, in FIG. 10 and aone or more intermediate positions, for example, as shown in FIGS. 12-14wherein the angle between the spokes 46 a, 46 b and the shaft 32 b isvaried from that shown in FIG. 10. The base 56 may be attached to therotational systems noted in rectangular form exhibited as numerals 14 aand 14 b—this is one of the manipulations shown in FIG. 25. Therotational systems can be fixed to the guards cowl and/or base or asseparate apparatus (of metal/material); thus the rotational systems 14 aand 14 b can be fixed/secured, adhered and/or attached to thenacelle/air inlet. FIG. 10 numerals 46 a and 46 b (exhibitsextensions/rods—46 a—10 extensions/rods, 46 b 12 extensions/rods forexample) can be separate apparatus—exhibits extension(s)/rod(s) whichcan be fixed/secured, adhered, and/or attached to the guard/cap and orscreens; as well as fixed/secured, adhered and/or attached to the engineshaft extension(s) and/or pole apparatus. These extensions/rods numerals46 a and 46 b can extend from the inward and/or outward portion of theguards/caps and/or screens; or from the screen latitudinal vane(s), (ifscreen is added) and fixed/secured, attached and/or adhered to theinward portion of the guards/caps and/or screens. Extensions/Rods 46 aand 46 b can also be in multiples of 2/numerous in numbers and or oddnumbers, extensions/rods may have a curved aperture for greater gasseparation—of metal/material. Conicals/cones with multi vanes have agreater degree of gas separation thereby engine to function moreefficiently. As air numeral 22, passes through the inlet which is at ahigh velocity it is turned at such a downstream by the vanes, the airhas both angular and axial velocity. This is known as imparting “swirl”to the fluid stream. Small particles of foreign matter entrained in theair stream are carried along with the swirling air. The particles withgreater mass are not of our concern due to the guard(s)/cap(s) and/orscreen(s) are used for preventive measure. A particle entrained in theair stream will have both tangential and axial velocity downstream ofthe turning vanes. Both tangential and axial velocity in theory are notsubjected to external forces travel in a straight line path to the outerperiphery of the passage way. In practice, the swirling air hassignificant effect on the particles trajectory which can be comparedroughly to that of a helix having increasing diameter in the downstreamdirection (as known). The rotational systems numerals 14 a and 14 b withor without treads/threads numerals 48 a and 48 b shall enable gasseparation to take place as well as guard from foreign objects. Thegaseous fluid or air shown as numeral 22 entering the engine through theinlet passes through the compressor numeral 24 where it is compressed,and hence to the combustor numeral 26 where the air is mixed with fueland burned. The hot gases of combustion emerges at high velocity fromthe combustor numeral 26 and passes sequentially through the highpressure turbine numeral 28 and low pressure turbine numeral 30 wheregases are expanded to extract energy there from. Energy extracted fromthe hot gases by turbine numeral 28 provides the driving force for thecompressor numeral 24 which is connected to turbine 28 by shaft numeral32 a. Energy extracted from the hot gases by turbine numeral 30 providesthe driving force for the main engine drive shaft numeral 32 b whichdelivers power to an energy using device, such as helicopter rotorsystem, (not exhibited). After exiting turbine numeral 30 the hot gasesof combustion passes through the engine exhaust duct numeral 34 whichincludes diffuser numeral 36 in which case gases are expanded and exitthe engine numeral 38. This is the formal function of numerous jetengines. Ejector systems and centrifuge vanes may also be added thus aswell as the conduits if deemed to (not exhibited in FIG. 10 butexhibited in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2) FIG. 6 numeral 40 includes control valveFIG. 6 numeral 42 for controlling the amount of air bled from thecompressor numeral 24 thus flow of the fluid through the conduits meansnumerals 20 a and 20 b to increase efficiency of the gas turbine engine.A modulating valve FIG. 6 numeral 44 regulates the flow in the conduitthereby increasing engine efficiency. The guards/caps and/or screens aswell as the rotational system 14 a and 14 b shown in FIG. 10 numeral 60(darted guard) are also deemed appropriate use and possible to be usedin FIG. 31 thru FIG. 56 for example (of metal/material) thus can befastened inside the air inlet of the aircraft; as well as fastened tothe nacelle exterior portion; and/or in the air inlet extending out tothe nacelle. This is also held true for FIG. 59 the spherical and/orround structural support frame, with or without rotational system and/ortreads/threads shown as serrated (for example). We note support framecan take numerous forms such as FIG. 57 rhombus and FIG. 58parallelogram (for example). The guards/caps and/or screens can be fixedto the guards and/or guard frame and/or as separate apparatus. Thusinventing the treads/threads (for example) of the rotational systemsproduction of various functions and movement shall therefore allow gasseparation to occur—examples of movement and function is swift, pivot,clockwise (for example), time delayed, auto-mated systems and/orhydraulics (for example—and/or for opening or closure of apparatus).Numeral 32 b exhibits the engine shaft extension(s) attachment and/orpole (of metal/material) thus adhered, fixed/secured and/or attached tothe guards/caps, screens and/or extensions. Numeral 32 a exhibits shaftfrom the high pressure turbine. Numeral 50 a, 50 b and 50 c thesecure/fixed, adhered, apparatus (of metal/material) attached to theengine and to the engine shaft extension(s) and/or pole-screens thatallows apparatus to be secure/fixed. Therefore, also allowing thecontinuos motion from the engine to occur without obstruction or furtherautomation thereby inducing motion and creating the rotation and/orfunction for gas separation to occur without minimizing engine thrust wehave created a higher performance engine. Note: Since the particles ofmatter are of small nature due to the guard(s)/cap(s) and/or screen(s)in not allowing large matter to be ingested, particles may also remainin the collection chamber(s) (not exhibited in FIG. 10 but shown in FIG.1 numerals 18 a and 18 b and FIG. 2 numerals 18 a and 18 b) but whichcan be enclosed once particles enter from the duct(s), thereby offeringan additional solution to this problem. Formal retraction process shallcommence by the conical/cone thus with dispersing movement (shown inFIGS. 12, 13 and 14) by center axis in multiples of 2 in numbers and/orodd numbers thus retract over the inlet and thus allow theextensions/rods to commence into a folding and/or are laced pattern forexample as thus the conical/cone may also be deemed into a folding orlaced pattern (shown by isometric partial expanded view FIG. 11) whichshall be taken into account by the type of inlet of a particularaircraft as well as the type of engine. This can also be a significantprocess for other engines and power plants and the like. FIG. 10numerals 62 a and 62 b exhibit the retraction slots in which case forexample the use hydraulics/automation process shall commence. Theretraction apparatus exhibited as FIG. 10 numerals 64 a, 64 b, and 64 cshall allow the attached apparatus and/or pole to be condensed withinthe pole in a stacking manner or on the exterior portion of the pole ina stacking matter—for example—FIG. 18 and FIG. 19 exhibit a expandedview of retractors (this shall very on the type of aircraft and/orengine). If centrifuge chamber manifold particle collector is deemed fitto use thus variance on the type of aircraft and/or engine as well aspower plants and the like-similar process shall commence thereby afolding and/or laced pattern—for example. Prior works exhibitaircraft—conicals/cones used for directional purposes by means ofhydraulic movement thus back and forth although a lack of efficiency andenergy has not allowed these types of aircraft to attain the highestperformance deemed possible, by the use of the rotational system(s) andbeing cost effective and efficient we attain a higher degree ofperformance that allows gas separation to take place as well asmaintaining and not compromising the engine thrust. The multi vaneconical—for example offers a greater degree of gas separation than asolid conical. Variance in guards/caps and/or screens vanes and/or meshoffer variances in degrees of gas separation. Thus, the three centrifugemulti vane conical/cone exhibited as FIG. 55 exhibits offers centrifugeprocess on the external means of conical thereby offering as well asdirection this is also deemed similar in nature with FIG. 56 the multivane centrifuge deflector conical/cone offers gas separation,directional purposes as well as deflecting shrapnel from enemies attack.This is a prime solution not only for numerous engines—jet, turoprop,turboshaft as well as for helicopters and other VTOL/VSTOL aircraft.This is a prime solution as well as for engines and power plants and thelike. Thus a guard(s)/cap(s) and/or screens along with the mechanism issignificant. A casing may be added as deemed fit shown in FIG. 1 andFIG. 3 numeral 52.
